Add footnotes field to DB #375

Open bhajneet opened 5 years ago

Interesting to note: the Vaaran from Punjabi University say that their ਭ pothi has ਧਰਮਸਾਲ.

Maybe in the future we should implement these footnotes alongside SGPC ones.

What method can we add this to the DB? I'm guessing we should include a footnotes field with respect to different proofs.

@Sarabveer how are you planning to handle transliterations with all these pair akhars?

sarabveer commented 5 years ago

Need to think of the schema for this.

So far there will be notes, under notes there will be pronunciation and footnotes. Both of them will have data from different sources.

If there will be footnotes, please keep in mind it would be nice to number the words in the gurmukhi field as well. So think of a good way to deal with padband/larreevaar and changes during corrections (to gurmukhi or footnote numbering) and keeping all columns up to date.

It would be nice to combine this with some of the pronunciations as well. They could just as easily have been superscript numbered with an explanation instead of repeating the word twice and using equal signs.
